2017 XC60 Overview

The Volvo XC60 compact crossover is one of the brand's best sellers, trailing only the larger XC90.For the 2017 model year, Volvo dropped a pair from its quartet of XC60 powertrains.The 2017 Volvo XC60 lineup offers just two engines: both four-cylinder.

A close relative of the S60 sedan, the Volvo XC60 scores most impressively on safety, carrying on Volvo's long-standing reputation for safe vehicles.In addition, the driver and front passenger enjoy some of the best seats to be found in today's automobiles.Fitted with a hefty load of standard equipment, the premium-level XC60 is still a strong contender in the near-luxury field.

Volvo XC60 T5 models come with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that makes 240 horsepower, while yielding up to 30 mpg in highway driving, a satisfactory estimate for this class, though not the thriftiest.

Both engines mate with an 8-speed automatic transmission.The T5 offers a choice of front-drive or all-wheel drive; the T6 comes only with AWD.

Dynamic and Inscription trim levels are priced identically, but the former leans in the direction of sportiness, while Inscription versions emphasize comfort.

Launched as a 2009 model, the Volvo XC60 is an old design, but Volvo has remained well ahead of other manufacturers in providing safety features as standard equipment.The standard City Safety system includes low-speed crash mitigation, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and a rearview camera, along with parking sensors.

Also on the safety front, visibility is excellent in the XC60.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the XC60 an overall crash-test rating of five stars.(Its four-star rollover score is typical for SUVs.) The XC60 also earned maximum (Good) scores in each test conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.A Superior score in that organization's rollover test helped give the XC60 a Top Safety Pick+ award.Full Review
